Because of a SINGLE ONE ambiguous statement of Hugh?
If he wouldn't have done all the work on New Jersey, he would've said so, right? What's the point in saying "I'm on all the albums" while he only did the bassline for (for example) Homebound Train? He's just taking credit for what he's done. If he's really that much onto being important, he wouldn't accept the fact that he's considered a full time band member.

Also, when talking about which of the bass lines he came up with and loves the most, he's mentioning Livin' On A Prayer and Keep The Faith most of the time. So it's safe to assume it's Hugh on Slippery too, even though that doesn't match the idea you have of Alec.

No, he said he did play on all the albums except for 7800 Fahrenheit. So yes, he played on the other songs of the first one too.
